Heat Make Final Decision on Trading Former No. 1 Overall Pick
Heat Make Final Decision on Trading Former No. 1 Overall Pick originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In one of the more bizarre situations during the NBA season, the Miami Heat were left with no choice but to trade Jimmy Butler. Advertisement The six-time NBA All-Star was frustrated following Pat Riley's decision not to extend Butler's contract before the 2024-25 season, which was expected to be worth around $113 million over two years. After demanding a trade to certain teams, Butler ended up accepting a move to the Golden State Warriors. In return, as a part of the five-team deal, the Heat landed former top pick Davion Micthell, Kyle Anderson and former No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, Andrew Wiggins. Following a season that saw the Heat limp into the playoffs only to be blasted by the Cleveland Cavaliers, Riley is looking to be active in free agency or the trade market. While this means acquiring players, it also means parting with some as well. Something that according to ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel, the Heat are willing to do with Wiggins and Terry Rozier. Advertisement Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (22).Sam Navarro-Imagn Images "After letting Duncan Robinson walk in free agency, the Heat are below the first apron and still looming on the trade market as a team wanting to make a substantial move," wrote Siegel. "Andrew Wiggins and Terry Rozier are two players the Heat would like to trade, sources said. Neither player would be involved in a potential Kuminga sign-and-trade for the Warriors to bring back." In terms of what move is available for the Heat that could see them part with Wiggins and Rozier, that remains to be determined.

$5.5 Billion Franchise Pegged as Suitor For Andrew Wiggins
$5.5 Billion Franchise Pegged as Suitor For Andrew Wiggins originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the NBA offseason starts to heat up, the Los Angeles Clippers, a franchise worth a staggering $5.5 billion and owned by Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer, have emerged as a potential suitor for Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins. Advertisement According to NBA insider Greg Sylvander, the Los Angeles Clippers are being monitored as a team interested in acquiring the 2022 NBA Champion. Wiggins was acquired by the Heat in the blockbuster trade that sent Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors. The former All-Star made just 17 appearances for the Heat in the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 19.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.3 assists on a remarkably impressive 52.3% shooting from the field. Miami Heat forward Andrew Wiggins (22).Sam Navarro-Imagn Images With the Heat showing interest in trading the versatile forward, perhaps Pat Riley's first big move of the summer is one that sends Wiggins back to the West Coast. Advertisement As Riley and head coach Erik Spoelstra look to recalibrate the roster around stars Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo and engage in trade talks with the Clippers, names like Paul George and Norman Powell are ones who pose themselves as valuable assets. After a disappointing season that ended in a sweep by Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2025 NBA Playoffs, the Heat are desperate to find players that fit their gritty style of basketball and can generate offense in the half court. For a storied franchise that's had seven NBA Finals appearances since 2006, maybe shipping away Wiggins to the Clippers is a move that can help the Heat reclaim their status as contenders in the Eastern Conference.

Scotland holds on to beat the New Zealand Maori 29-26 in a thrilling start to its Pacific tour
Associated Press WHANGAREI, New Zealand (AP) — Scotland conceded a try after only 40 seconds but rallied to score four tries including a double to scrumhalf George Horne to hold out the New Zealand Maori 29-26 Saturday in the opening match of its South Pacific tour. The tourists led 29-12 early in the second half but gave up two tries and had to survive 29 phases of attack, two penalties and a yellow card before sealing their win in the 87th minute. It was Scotland's first win over the New Zealand Maori in their first match in New Zealand in 25 years. The Maori had Scotland on the back foot when they scored off their first possession which came from a poor Scotland clearance. Flyhalf Rivez Reihana moved the ball quickly wide, center Bailyn Sullivan recovered his own kick and passed infield to scrumhalf Sam Nock who scored before the first minute of the match had elapsed. Scotland recovered well and controlled possession through most of the next 25 minutes, scoring tries through winger Harry Patterson and Horne, both from kicks which turned the Maori defense. Scotland looked dangerous both from phase play and counterattack and kicked well to pressure the New Zealand Maori in the backfield. The Maori had only fragments of possession through the middle of the first half and struggled to produce a coherent attack until the 32nd minute when Scotland conceded a series of penalties close to their own goalline. With the touring team under a general warning, replacement Alex Masibaka found himself heading to the sin-bin only moments after taking the field. The Maori took advantage and Nock moved the ball wide to backrower Te Kamaka Howden who dropped a pass into the hands of lock Isaia Walker-Leawere who scored. Scotland responded superbly to score just before halftime and while still one man down through winger Arron Reed. The tourists continued to find space behind the defense and wide out for kicks. On this occasion center Rory Hutchinson kicked to Reed's wing. The Maori were reduced to 13 men with two yellow cards in the opening minutes of the second half. Scotland took advantage and Horne scored the best try of the match, combining on the left flank with Hutchinson and Reed. Restored to 15 men, the Maori struck back through hooker Kurt Eklund from a lineout drive, then scored again through Gideon Wrampling to reduce Scotland's lead to three points a 29-26. Scotland next plays Fiji in Suva next Saturday and then Samoa. ___ AP rugby: in this topic
